Italian shipping companies controlled 63.9% of RoRo traffic to and from Italian ports in 2024, up from 60.1% in 2023 and 49.3% in 2022.
This data comes from a Banca d’Italia survey on sea freight transport. It confirms the growing dominance of local operators in RoRo, general cargo, and container sectors.
Foreign companies have much smaller shares:
- Greek operators (2nd place): 12.6% (down from 14.1% in 2023)
- Denmark (3rd place): 8.3% – a new entrant in the ranking
The rise of Denmark reflects DFDS’s acquisition of Turkish Ekol Logistics, pushing Turkey out of the top three.
